How to Date Men When You Hate Men Blythe Roberson Books

If all funny books written by comedians were ranked by now much they made you want to go into stand-up, Roberson's book would be at the top. Catch me next week at open mics throughout Oklahoma attempting to make jokes about this very topic. To the straight white cisgendered men who've asked me to do emotional labor for them these past 23 years, I'll consider us even (or at least give you a 10% off coupon) if you buy and actually read this book. There will be a test.

How to Date Men When You Hate Men Blythe Roberson Books Reviews

This was wicked funny and I loved it!! It's a feminist look at dating. What to do and what not to do in situations. I loved her take on this. It's laugh out loud funny. Like nothing I've ever read.

Interesting read that made me laugh at times. As a 50 year old woman I see the author as extremely young with limited life experience. Saying that, she does make some good points and hits the mark on men at times. One thing I did not agree with her on was that marriage is disposable. If you are going to get married you need to be in it for the long haul. Marriage is work and is hard at times. If you view it as disposable you will never work through rough times. You will simply decide it isn’t working and divorce. If you feel marriage is disposable, don’t get married. Even though we live in a disposable society, people and their emotions are not disposable. Though her world view and mine are miles apart I did enjoy this book and appreciate that she repeatedly points out that women don’t need men to validate, complete or fulfill them; a belief I have tried to instill in my own daughters.
First of all this book really does not deliver on the title's promise. I was really excited for this one. It seemed like exactly what any single feminist hetero woman needs a wise guide in learning to make peace with the fact that dating's unwritten rules are built upon the foundation of patriarchy. Instead it feels like a navel-gazing, cringe-y memoir of a woman in her 20s. I made those same cringe-y choices in my 20s, and I also thought it was worth a book. I'm glad that I didn't have the platform to express it when I thought I was so clever.

If this is a memoir, what it's missing in that old equation is time. (Memoir = tragedy + time.) Not enough time has passed for the author to have the perspective needed to really give this subject the weight, time, and effort it deserves. Also lacking are narratives from other women. (Tho, to be fair, haven't finished it. Don't think I can.) Is she elevating any voices of WOC? If she's 'woke,' (ugh that word) this could've been a great platform to offer diverse voices on this subject. Outside of a few clever moments, this book fails to deliver on so many levels.
Product arrived brand-new, just like description. Super fast shipping!!
I am telling all my friends about this book (I already have). I was seriously laughing out loud at some parts because I found it so funny. I am a 26 year old female and I found the entire book to be extremely relatable; I kept thinking to myself...omg I've totally been through this too! I'm not alone! The entire book was written in colloquial style, which I loved - Blythe feels like my long lost best friend (she just doesn't know it yet). If you're thinking about reading this, DO IT. So happy it brightened up my week! There are several pop culture references I didn't understand because my celebrity knowledge is abysmal and I am not cool, but I just googled my way through the book. Now I feel slightly cooler.
I thought her perspective was different. However a little skewed to her way of life. The insite she gave was frankly a little terrifying and sad. She definitely keeps the men she crushes on at arms length never fully committing to what could possibly be a full on relationship. Which I get she runs the scenarios and determines the out come so she predetermines what could become a fully committed relationship and ends it before fully knowing where it is going.

I thought it was fairly superficial and hypocritical at times. At one point she bashes on the scale, rating and graphing of women but then goes on to rate her own crushes and essentially graph them. I dont have a problem with the rating. I did not think it was consistent to say Men shouldn’t do this but I can. We all weigh the pros and cons differently. If her point was that Men shouldn’t publicly rate/shame women I agree. Keeping your thoughts and place markers for potential partners should not be done in a public forum or in such a way that it could make them feel bad for not living up to your standards.

The book was entertaining and her sarcatic humor was fun. I walked away hoping she finds love and thinking it would be ironic if he was either 10+years her elder or 10+ years her younger due to some of her reactions to the age differences of some of her celebrity crushes partnerships and her thinking it is “gross”.
I hope she keeps writing as she continues on her journey. Though I didnt always agree with her I loved that we had a lot in common and her humor was a treat.
This book is hilarious and very relatable even for a middle-ager like me
